Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I'm obviously missing something. I have tried installing to my orangepi (Orange Pi PC V1.3), but it isn't working as expected. I first downloaded one of the orangepi images and burnt it to my sd card. It booted up just fine, but apparently just a miniroot fs. I have been trying with no success to get the rest installed to make a complete installation of slarm64. I tried making an install disk on usb connected sd by downloading all the files from the mirror site. Setup fails to run after booting into the minifs. It just drops back to the command prompt. I have tried using slackpkg by pointing it first to my downloaded files, then to the mirror site (using https, http, and ftp) I keep getting different errors.

What do I need to get Slarm64 installed on my Orangepi?

Orange Pi PC is not 64bit. The Orange PI PC is supported by Slackware ARM in -current. You'll find the instructions linked from the web site.

Currently testing slarm64 on Olinuxino A64 (with Allwinner A64 CPU).
At first look most things seem to work with mainline u-boot & mainline kernel (4.20). (0 patches)
I'll try to provide feedback about slarm64 while using it. And try to get it running on the Teres-I laptop too (A64 cpu again).
